Linguistic Discrimination

Linguistic discrimination occurs when individuals are treated unfairly or judged negatively based on their language, dialect, or accent. This can happen in various settings, such as education, employment, or social interactions. People may face bias simply because they speak differently or use a certain language, leading to stereotypes and exclusion. Such discrimination can impact opportunities and social status, reinforcing inequalities. It highlights the need for greater awareness and acceptance of linguistic diversity, encouraging a more inclusive society that values all forms of communication.
